Statute 61-3102: Expenses on refusal to admit truth of
matter requested.
If
a party to whom
a request for
admission has been submitted denies under oath any matter requested, and the
party
submitting the request later proves the genuineness of any document or the
truth of any matter
of fact denied by the answering party, the party submitting the request may ask
the court for
an order requiring the answering party to pay the reasonable expenses incurred
in making
such proof, including reasonable attorney fees. The court shall enter the order
unless the court
finds that there were good reasons for the denial or that the admissions sought
were of no
substantial importance.
